ISLAMABAD:
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in partnership with Meta launched Instagram’s new security feature “Teen Accounts”, designed to improve online protection for young users in Pakistan.
The feature automatically places users under 16 into teen accounts, limiting unwanted contact and filtering sensitive content while allowing safe digital exploration, a press release said.
The launch event was attended by representatives from Meta, UNICEF/NCRC and key child protection stakeholders. The program included awareness sessions and live demonstrations of online security tools.
